Palaeograph

Paleograph is a browser-based 3D viewer built for archaeologists who need to explore excavation datasets without leaving the trench. It accepts CSV exports that contain stratigraphic layers, find categories and spatial coordinates, then renders each find as an interactive object in a Three.js scene. The interface runs entirely on a static host, so all analysis stays on the workstation that serves the files. - Rapid inspection of context sheets or trench notebooks exported as CSV. - Comparing finds across stratigraphic layers to identify depositional patterns. - Highlighting artefact categories (bone, lithic, ceramic, etc.) using custom geometry and colour schemes. - Filtering layers for presentation or field discussion. - Export currently viewed or all datapoints as colored ply pointcloud for external usage in Meshlab or a CAD application - Completely local No data is uploaed. The whole program runs locally in your browser. - Inline CSV upload (drag & drop or file picker) with automatic header detection. - Axis mapping for East, North and Elevation columns, honouring geospatial orientations (no coordinate normalisation). - Colour modes: toggle between category-based styling and layer-based styling, each with editable palettes and geometry. - Stratigraphy filters to show/hide layers without resetting the camera. - Camera presets (top, front, side, free) plus orthographic/perspective switchers that preserve your chosen viewpoint. - Scalable visuals: point and label size sliders with adjustable ranges - Meter-based ground grid and bounding-box labels that track the visible dataset. - Based on Three.js (https://threejs.org/) - the awesome Open Source 3D library Palaeograph is the open-source project DFin/palaeograph (https://github.com/DFin/palaeograph) by DFin, released under MIT. Ion packages it unmodified from commit e837f753ec18, adding only a manifest, an icon and a storage compatibility script.
